Hi all,
I wanna change the design of some async client (code at end of this
message) towards something like "run as a server and pull a message
from another server".
The so called "another server" will be my master server in future. At
the moment I'm taking some example from asio's documentation:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/doc/html/boost_asio/tutorial/tutdaytime...
The async client is derived from another example of asio's documentation:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/doc/html/boost_asio/example/http/client...
My simple question is: How would you change the code below to run in a
loop and pulls 'let's say' every second a message from master server?
Thanks a lot!
